P1-公路和隧道改变了美国经济分布的格局,铁路的出现影响尤为巨大,还大幅增加了特定土地价值和促进例如亚特兰大的增长,把一些不知名的地方变成了忙碌的口岸,特别是由于西部和亚特兰大铁路
P2-铁路也得到投资人的青睐,但是由于它过于重要,不管是对国家还是交织的商业圈来说,所以后来铁路也成了第一批政府管制的行业
P3-铁路从内战后到世界一战前产生了很多就业岗位,随之其他行业的岗位也被带动,1909年P集团排名世界第八,1805~1915年,铁路的地位就像今天的汽车行业,但是区别是由多家企业主导而不像汽车是由福特和GM
CR: AA,全对

B B C E(A这道题有点没搞懂,一开始也想选A但是A说的是direct job,原文没说是direct啊,后面一句话虽然写了indirect job在钢铁等领域,但不代表这200w全是direct吧,E的话是因为原文说了是major source,但也无法判断是不是dominance其他industry,这题是蒙的,这题感觉仔细推敲不严谨) D
